327 – EP.12 Teaching Feeling-2
***
Contrary to NB’s words that the changed drone’s movements would soon be known, NB headed to Aaru alone for over two weeks.
I have now become accustomed to waking up in the morning and seeing the ribbon NB tied swinging back and forth in the wind on the tree branches.
My life has also changed a lot. First of all, the A-11 base has become quite convenient.
At first, it was like a friend’s house I went to and the bed was uncomfortable and I ate too much, but now it’s as comfortable as my own house.
I became familiar with the way into the base, what to watch out for, and the secret passages from one base to another.
More than anything, I got used to spending time in this base without NB.
The wind blowing from somewhere, the burnt smell that slightly tickles your nose, the sound of metal and the sound of the city’s facilities moving and clanking.
They look like heartbeats and blood flow, making the city of Aaru feel like a living organism.
There is an absolute ruler called the ‘Ark’, so perhaps it is not wrong to say this.
There isn’t much I can do at the base until NB returns.
Among the items brought from Aaru, I organize those that have not yet been sorted due to lack of time, and check to see if there are any drones approaching nearby.
It would be nice if I could read a book, but even though I can write the alphabet, I can’t read English at all.
And then I just lie down and think about various things.
What exactly is this dimension?
Will I get involved with someone again?
What happens to me?
Forgetting the things I realized while moving through dimensions, I ask them again.
As if they were laughing at the idea that I understood everything and could deal with it, new problems greeted me, and I repeated the same mistakes I made, proving that I am still immature.
“It would be nice if I could meet the god of this world.”
There is a god in charge of each dimension, and the gods are also ranked. This probably means that there is a hierarchy in the dimensional management scene.
If so, there is a possibility of meeting a dimensional management god who can solve this problem.
“It’s frustrating not knowing how to meet.”
The reason I was able to meet Solari was because she had an incarnation of herself in her cult, and I intervened in the process of her choosing Maria as her representative.
In other words, even if you are a dimension manager, you cannot notice my existence unless you carefully examine your world.
[Because it is a form of possessing the body of an existing person, it may be more difficult to recognize.]
I remember what Solari said.

“!!!”
I was lost in thought when I heard the sound of a machine in my ear and jumped up.
It was the sound of a drone. It can be heard from a distance that is neither far nor near.
We covered our base with a tent and hid behind a rock.

Look outside through the small hole in the tent.
Drones were flying in formation above an abandoned building near the base.
A-11 base is located in an old city adjacent to Aaru. It is a place ruined by desertification and infectious diseases.
I have seen drones searching the area near Aaru on a regular basis, but this is the first time I have seen them moving around like they did today.
“It’s just as NB said.”
The Ark is looking for something.
And I haven’t found that something yet.
This can be seen from the fact that the drones that were insufficient to search the inside of Aaru were sent out to the outside of Aaru.
“Please, nothing should happen.”
Looking at the swaying ribbon tied to a tree branch, I was worried about NB, who had not yet returned from Aaru.

Drone patrol routes are changing day by day.
A drone was seen floating in the blind spot of CCTV, where it was supposed to be hidden.
As he watched the blind spots he had discovered while wandering around Aaru for a long time gradually disappearing, NB was reminded of the remaining safe zones.
“Cooling is required.”
Due to overload from long hours of activity, NB needed a place to rest for a while.
If the temperature of the gas cannot be lowered, normal calculations cannot be performed.
The result of an abnormal operation will result in a mistake, and that mistake will leave a clue.
“Go to the next safe zone.”
NB lifted her backpack again and started walking.
A little while after NB left.
– Buuung
The drone that was in CCTV’s blind spot slowly rose into the air and started flying somewhere.
The destination was obviously another CCTV blind spot.

“So, there was no way to send me there?”
“There is a way. But I won’t do it.”
“What?”
“At a time when there are already mortals who have received my power and are able to cross dimensions, I don’t want to add more people. I don’t want to be stepped on by adding to the burden of something that should be dealt with quietly.”
“Are you saying I’m worse than that bastard?”
“… In the long run, yes. Do you know that the power you have… The power called inner energy in your world is finite?”
The white-winged goddess pointed her finger at a woman’s chest.
“It’s finite? The amount of energy accumulated in my body is considerable, and there is also energy gained from nature…”
“In a world without internal energy, you have no way to gain internal energy. Because the concept itself does not exist. So, you will only use the internal energy accumulated in your body? When do you think this dimensional shift will end? Repeat the dimensional shift again and again. As you do this, your strength will gradually deplete, and you will eventually become a powerless being. Unlike her…”
“…No. I will find a way. So, let me go right away…!”
As if to cut off the cries of a woman overcome by her evil, the finger of the white-winged goddess touched her forehead.
“So… Let’s go back to our own world.”
As soon as the goddess finished speaking, the woman seemed to be sucked into something, and she fell backwards.
And her eyes widened at the sight that unfolded before her.
The landscape of square, straight stone buildings disappeared, and an unfamiliar space came into view.
“This is….”
Because it was a mountain with few people. However, seeing that there was no feeling of alienation, it seemed like this was the world she originally belonged to.
“…What these so-called absolutes do is worse than municipal mischief.”
The woman stood up and shook off her dirt-stained clothes.
“Yeah, it doesn’t matter.”
“I will find a way somehow.”
Her red eyes glowed in the darkness.
